When I started writing 'A Million Little Pieces,' I felt like it was the right story with the style I had been looking for, and I just kept going.

I'm just going to write my books and do my work and release it. Let the world decide what it is, and if it's any good or not.

To write a damn good thriller, you need a killer attitude.

If I was gonna write a book that was true, and I was gonna write a book that was honest, then I was gonna have to write about myself in very, very negative ways.

Ive never had any interest at all in being a journalist or writing some sort of historically accurate autobiography.

I try to write books that are different from the books I've already written. I think one of the thing I really try to do is reinvent how a novel can be written.

Being a writer now is about so much more than writing. There's publishing, touring, marketing, web presence.

The greatest rules of dramatic writing are conflict, conflict, conflict.

I don't want to walk in the middle. I want people to read what I write and feel strongly about it. If, at some point, whatever I am doing is failing to elicit a response, whether it's very positive or very negative, then I am going to stop doing it.
